I know things have changed a lot since Cataclysm but I could help but to be disappointed by this quest.

I remember having hard time in this area before. It was possibly another quest but I recall having to defeat a "boss" of some kind. Here, nothing of this. You kill a couple of baddies and that's it.

Way too easy : (

Description

Marnal has been pestering me about this Shadra plot for days. I'm almost upset he actually found the tablet; I was ready for him to shut up about it. Despite his high talk of ritual magic, he's still going to need my help as much as I need his. I've got to whip up a base medium with similar... ...You know what, I'm not going to bother rambling about the details. Just bring me the Shadraspawn eggs from Agol'watha. There should be quite a few, guarded by the Vilebranch trolls.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shadra the Venom QueenThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    <The ground rumbles as the idol sits on the altar, and the lake below roils! Shadra is emerging!>

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Starvation DietThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    The spiders infesting the Creeping Ruin to the east are useless. We're calling them shadraspawn now, and it's clear they're related to the spider god, but that doesn't change the fact that they're more trouble than they're worth. I'd much rather just wipe the little pests out.
